This is the FAQ for rec.crafts.metalworking. It is in several pieces to keep the overall size of each part below the limits imposed by some news systems. This is part 11 of 11. Generally, units below are United States dollars, degrees Fahrenheit, and all the other silly backwards units we Americans still use. Sorry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (continued from previous part) - J. I.

They also operate a machine shop entirely from a water-powered line shaft! They are doing serious commmercial work, including grey iron castings to 4000 lb. for industrial and architectural applications. They do a lot of reproductions and one-offs for steam and gas engine nuts. They also run a pattern shop. The proprietor is Ed Arata, a very approachable fellow who apparently runs the place with the help of Friends of Knight Foundry, a non-profit with historical/educational goals. - Laguna Clay Co. 14400 E. Lomitas Ave. City of Industry, CA (don't have the zip) (818) 330-0631 Sands and fire clays for casting. Though it's liable to increase cost significantly, they do ship and they will split bags.

No problem with returns, but they ask that you get specific return instructions before shipping anything back. All prices subject to change. Visa and MasterCard accepted. Prices are quoted plus actual shipping. Experience with McMaster-Carr is very good. They do update (read: raise) their prices frequently, so don't believe catalog prices. Get a quote before buying. Expect the catalog to be 10% low. Shipments have been prompt, complete, and accurate. Prices seem high, but they make up for it with "one-stop" shopping. - Merritt's Antiques, Inc. P.O.

However, in some cases their prices seem outrageous, so check around first. On the other hand, they may be the only source for that odd-sized spiral-flute reamer you need, or that #00 tap. Their catalogs are free; there is a small (196 pages in 1993) one and a large one (410 pages, catalog no. P-912 as of late 1992), so ask for both (they may only send you the short one if you say you're a hobbyist). - Personal CNC 4856 W. 129th St. Hawthorne, CA 90250 http://www.lainet.com/pcmotion CNC kits for Sherline lathes and mills, and larger machines.

I'm pretty happy with this place - they're fully computerized, know *exactly* what's in inventory, and usually have it cut and waiting before I can get from the cashier's to the warehouse. I've bought very small quantities of metal with no hassle. They've also special ordered some offbeat sizes for me, no problems, no extra charges. Since getting small quantities of metal has some up in this group from time to time, I asked them if they sold mail order. They do, and they'll take orders by phone, mail, or fax. - Powell's Technical Books Portland OR (800) 225-6911, (503) 228-0505 (FAX) Send a blank email to ping@technical.powells.portland.or.us for an automatic response with further instructions.

They primarily deal with professionals, but I have dealt with them in person and by phone and they have always been helpful and quick. They send out several catalogs yearly including a new safety equipment supply catalog. Their prices are reasonable and they stock both top of the line and "quality import" selections for most items. (Will Martin reports they ask for a company name before sending out a catalog) - S. LaRose, Inc. 3223 Yanceyville St. P.O.

Note that many other suppliers also stock Sherline, though you can order directly from the factory (at the same price) as well. The advantage of finding a local supplier is that you may be able to try one out, or at least look at it, before spending your money. - Small Parts, Inc. 13980 N.W. 58th Court P.O.

The idea is to drill/bore/ream a hole nearly the desired size, then finish it by forcing a hard sphere through it. Spheric sells the balls, and has accumulated know-how in their use. In firearm manufacturing I believe this is called button rifling or button finishing. - Spring Manufacturers Institute, Inc. 1865C Hicks Road Rolling Meadows, IL 60008 If you need technical info about making springs, they sell a book entitled Handbook of Spring Design for $10 US (as of 1994). - The Steam Outlet PO Box 1426 Thonotassassa, FL 33592-1426 Catalog $5.00.

Both are divisions of Designatronics (DSG). These folks make all sorts of gears, drives, bearings, couplings, and related stuff. Small, not hydroelectric-sized. Ask them for their free publication "Handbook of Gears." They also publish "Handbook of Shafts, Bearings & Couplings," "Handbook of Timing Belts, Chains & Friction Drives," "Handbook of Design Components," "Aluminum Extrusions & Accessories."

Visa, MasterCard, American Express accepted. Replace, refund, or full credit within 60 days of purchase (buyer's choice). Prices are subject to change without notice. Experience with Travers has been good. They are less expensive than McMaster-Carr and other full-price dealers. They sell premium and no-name lines of many similar tools so that you only buy the "quality" that you need. Their performance on orders was once imperfect, but they stand behind their merchandise, so correcting the error was easy, fast, and painless. I have ordered from them many times, so "one minor error out of many" is a good grade. - US Cyberlabs These folks market a cheap CNC kit, but around late January 1995 the newsgroup was unanimous in condemning the company and their product. Very slow delivery, shoddy workmanship, flimsy engineering were all cited. US Cyberlabs is the only entry in the FAQ for which I decided to include a warning, and not their address/phone! - Vigor, sold by FDJ 2221 Lee Road, Suite #1 Winter Park, FL 32789 (800) 323-6091 (orders) (407) 629-6906 (407) 645-0707 (FAX) (FDJ is the company name, and sells the Vigor line) Jeweler's tools, video tapes, books, retailing supplies, and many universal tools being targeted at jewelers.
